What is the origin of angels?

Question

I need biblical answers to my biblical question.

Answer 1

Both the Hebrew mal·’akh′ and the Greek ag′ge·los literally mean “messenger.” From the first book of the Bible to the last, these words occur nearly 400 times. When spirit messengers are indicated, the words are translated “angels,” but if the reference definitely is to human creatures, the rendering is “messengers.” (Genesis 16:7; 32:3; James 2:25; Revelation 22:8.)

Angels are sometimes termed spirits; that which is spirit is invisible and powerful. Thus we read: “A spirit came out and stood before Jehovah”; “Are they not all spirits for public service?” (1Kings 22:21; Hebrews 1:14) Having invisible spiritual bodies, they make their abode “in the heavens.” (Mark 12:25; 1Corinthians 15:44, 50) They are also termed “sons of the true God,” “morning stars,” and “holy myriads” (or “holy ones”).—Job 1:6; 2:1; 38:7; Deuteronomy 33:2.

Not being creatures that marry and reproduce their own kind, the angels were individually created by Jehovah through his firstborn Son, “the beginning of the creation by God.” (Matthew 22:30; Revelation 3:14) “By means of him [this firstborn Son, the Word] all other things were created in the heavens . . . the things invisible . . . Also, he is before all other things and by means of him all other things were made to exist.” (Colossians 1:15-17; John 1:1-3) The angels were created long before man’s appearance, for at the ‘founding of the earth’ “the morning stars joyfully cried out together, and all the sons of God began shouting in applause.”—Job 38:4-7.

As for the number of the angelic hosts of heaven, Daniel said he saw “a thousand thousands that kept ministering to [God], and ten thousand times ten thousand that kept standing right before him.”—Daniel 7:10; Hebrews 12:22; Jude 14.

As with the visible creation, so also in the invisible realm there is order and rank among the angels. The foremost angel, both in power and authority, is Michael, the archangel. (Daniel 10:13, 21; 12:1; Jude 9; Revelation 12:7) Because of his preeminence and his being called “the great prince who is standing in behalf of the sons of [God’s] people,” he is presumed to be the angel that led Israel through the wilderness. (Exodus 23:20-23)

Ranking very high among the angels in privileges and honor are the seraphs. (Isaiah 6:2, 6) More frequently (some 90 times), the Scriptures mention the cherubs, and from the description of their duties and responsibilities it is apparent that they, too, hold a special position among the angels. (Genesis 3:24; Ezekiel 10:1-22) Then there is the great body of angelic messengers who serve as a means of communication between God and man. However, they do more than simply relay messages. As agents and deputies of the Most High God, they serve as responsible executioners of the divine purpose, be it protection and deliverance of God’s people or destruction of the wicked.—Genesis 19:1-26.

Answer 2

Angels are Gods messengers.In the New Testament angels appear frequently as the ministers of God and the agents of revelation (e.g. Matthew 1:20
An angel is a supernatural being found in many religions. In Christianity, Judaism, Zoroastrianism and Islam, angels, as attendants or guardians to man, typically act as messengers from God.
An Angel does not have a gender. Scholastic theologians teach that angels are mentally superior to humans as mankind was created "a little lower than the angels" (Psalm 8:5) and can travel much faster than the known limitations of the physical universe. They also teach that angels are intermediaries to some forces that would otherwise be natural forces of the universe, such as the rotation of planets and the motion of stars. Because of their spiritual nature, angels possess the beatific vision of the triple Godhead. Hope this helps a little . x

Answer 3

Maybe. Some might assume that because they are the offspring of "fallen angels" which is what lucifer was....Or that they are offspring of "heavenly beings". The Targum Jonathan states that the Nephilim were given this name because they were descended from fallen angels.[7] The New American Bible commentary draws a parallel to the Epistle of Jude and the statements set forth in Genesis, suggesting that the Epistle refers implicitly to the paternity of Nephilim as heavenly beings who came to earth and had sexual intercourse with women.[8] The footnotes of the Jerusalem Bible suggest that the Biblical author intended the Nephilim to be an "anecdote of a superhuman race".[9] Genesis 6:4 implies that the Nephilim have inhabited the earth in at least two different time periods—in antediluvian times "and afterward." If the Nephilim were supernatural beings themselves, or at least the progeny of supernatural beings, it is possible that the "giants of Canaan" in Book of Numbers 13:33 were the direct descendants of the antediluvian Nephilim, or were fathered by the same supernatural parents.

Answer 4

Every explanations given in many references available have never been satisfactorily acceptable. I personally guess that it came from our constant experience while making some thoughtful consideration to every decision in life. Our minds has the always used the logic in executing a desired plan of action and suddenly something pops out of the blue and another idea just comes out giving us the feeling more than just the mind can explain. Like hearing a voice that tells the good or better way in a much kinder and gentle reason to do or not to do. We think of that sub-consciousness normally as saying "an angel told me this is the right way."
A helper either known or unknown to you in the middle of a crisis baffling your every thought may pick you up from your downfall or slip and wecall them an angel to us.
Someone who came to you and in an instant you had the sensation of peace and tranquility within prompting you to say "here comes an angel."
Most likely angels origin came from the creation of the mind that is always good and caring. From our own subconscious and the conscious generousity of someone.

Answer 5

Few angels are NAMED in the Christian Bible.

Most of the specific stories of named angels are from Judaic works that were not included in the "old testament" when that abridged work was created.

There is some debate as to which portions were purposefully removed and which were neglected because the writers of the Bible did not have access to or had not studied the complete works.

One of the other stories missing is the story of Adams FIRST wife (Lilith) and why He later had to make Eve from a rib.
